Brand new miscellaneaarts.com

Joy! Some months in the coming, I am so thrilled to launch the redesigned miscellaneaarts.com.

The original version of the site utilized a freely available WordPress theme, but after designing WP themes for a variety of other sites, I wanted the experience of doing it for myself and this site design is the result.

Like the previous incarnation of the site, my mixed media artwork and designs are highlighted and the regular features of modus operandi (techniques shared every Tuesday) and Friday 5 (weekly photos of what’s going on in my studio) will return. The new design also highlights my web design work, including custom WordPress themes I’ve created for clients, and is more social, including “share this post” links at the end of each post.

I hope you like the new look of miscellaneaarts.com. It truly was a labor of love and, admittedly, frustration, as I took down the site to prepare for relaunch—and then my husband was offered a job more than 900 miles north of our Florida home. So, since my last post here, my family—Mr Misc, Kid Etc (who is now 15!!), our two cats and two dogs—packed up and picked up and moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in September.

Though there were many, many, many, many wonderful things about this transition, it was a less-than-ideal time to be updating and redesigning my site, which unfortunately languished until earlier this month. I hope the wait has been worthwhile and I look forward to sharing new content with you here, as well as my experiences exploring Baltimore and its environs.

I’m still doing some final testing of the theme, so if you find anything wonky on the site, please let me know (either in the comments below or via Twitter or email).
